Obligatory Introductory Post

Man, I don’t know how to write a proper introductory blog post.  I’m Charlotte.  I spend half my life being a pessimistic bitch and half my life being overly optimistic and bubbly.  I’m thinking that’s because old Charlotte and new Charlotte are constantly battling it out.  (Am I starting to sound nuts?  That’s about right.)  I like musicals, superhero movies, and cookies dipped in coffee.  Oh, and books.  A lot of books.  I'm a recent graduate of UAlbany (miraculously.  For real, almost didn't make it.).  During the school year, I work at a before school program watching kids - so basically I get paid to play dodge ball and make crafts.  I also worked on the political scene for a while and plan to go back to that in a few months.  It's fun getting paid to be a troublemaker. 

It’s not really essential to who I am, so I’m not sure it belongs in an intro, but I just moved to North Carolina from New York.  This is for sure a temporary move; even if I didn't want to leave eventually, I’m fairly certain the confederates will only tolerate so much of my socialist, feminazi, liberal nonsense.  I've been here three days and people are already making “north of the Mason-Dixon line” jokes.  No hate, though.  As much as I mock the dirty south, it’s beautiful in these mountains and I’m going to try to use my time here to work on myself.

My plan is basically to write about a bunch of random stuff on this blog.  For a while now, I’ve written down little reminders of things to post, but some debilitating low self-esteem (paired with a little laziness and a hectic schedule) stopped me from ever actually putting it up here.  I figure it’s about time though, you feel me?  So expect some ramblings about politics, family, Catholicism, economics, kids, and other things.  It’ll be fun.  Or not.  Whatever.
